Tyler1: From Toxic Streamer to Twitch Sensation
Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp, known for his toxic behavior while playing League of Legends, has become one of the most popular streamers on Twitch. Despite being banned from the game in 2016, his audience grew exponentially. His ban was lifted in 2018, and his comeback stream attracted a record-breaking 382,000 viewers.
While it’s not our place to judge if he has truly reformed, it seems Tyler1 has significantly toned down his toxic behavior since his peak in 2016. However, he still manages to display gamer rage from time to time. Here are the top 10 funniest Tyler1 rage moments that will surely give you a good laugh.
10) DON’T TELL ME TO SHUT UP
This classic clip showcases Tyler1’s entertaining antics for his viewers. Although Moira didn’t do anything wrong, the situation was undeniably hilarious.
9) Thanks Riot
We’ve all experienced the frustration of encountering bugs at the worst possible time, like in the middle of a team fight. It’s understandable how this can lead to boiling frustration and outbursts.
8) Press D to Dance?
Every League player can relate to this moment. Accidentally mistyping in chat and missing the enter key can result in blowing important summoner spells and causing frustration.
7) IN A CHILDREN’S GAME
After a long day at work, unwinding with a casual game is a great feeling. Unfortunately for Tyler1, Fall Guys isn’t exactly a relaxing experience.
6) Winning a game after a 15-game losing streak
If you’ve played competitive video games, you’ve probably experienced the frustration of going on a losing streak and the subsequent tilt. Most people would take a break, but Tyler1 has a knack for spamming games even when things aren’t going well. There’s no victory quite like the one after 15 consecutive losses.
5) Blue Buff + Teemo Poison = Extreme Pain
For junglers out there, always make sure to wait out the poison. Teemo’s poison, along with similar abilities from champions like Cassiopeia, Twitch, and Singed, can be a source of extreme frustration.
4) I’m f***ing addicted, so I can’t quit
This clip showcases the fine line between funny and sad. Many players have questioned their own sanity while playing a game. It’s important to ask yourself if you’re even having fun.
3) Bugged remake leads to a broken keyboard
Similar to No. 9, encountering bugs in a game’s code can be infuriating. At least Tyler1’s ‘F’ key still worked so he could spam the surrender vote.
2) Thresh???
This moment can be justified as Tyler1 was griefed by his support. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for teammates to provoke streamers for attention. Even Tyler1 might have cracked a smile at this one though.
1) YOU HAVE NO MANA
This epic moment marked the conclusion of Tyler1’s feud with Riot Games’ David “Phreak” Turley. Phreak referred to Tyler1 as a nobody with his only marketable skill being an asshole. Tyler1, despite being ID banned, started streaming while already in-game, leading to an intense showdown with Phreak himself. It was a clash of titans.
